Record May Cold Hits South Australia

Many parts of South Australia have posted their coldest May mornings on record this week.

Wednesday was the chilliest day so far...

Kadina dipped to -0.8C/30.6F (breaking it’s previous May low of 0.1C set in 2021); Robe saw -2C/28.4F (beating its old record of -1.3C from 2006); Roseworthy to -1.4C/29.5F (breaking its low of -0.4c set during the May of 1967); Cummins shivered through -1.6C/29.1F (smashing it’s previous low of 0.8C set in 2023); and Wudinna posted -1.5C/29.3F (besting the -1.2C set May 21, 2022).

Additional record monthly lows include the 0.3C/32.5F at Edinburgh (which broke the old 1985 record in books dating back to 1972), and the -2.6C/27.3F at Nuriootpa (which is 0.5C below the previous record dating back to 1996).

The state government activated a 'Code Blue' extreme weather warning in response to the freeze, covering the likes of Far West Coast, Copper Coast, Clare Valley, Riverland, Murraylands, Upper Spencer Gulf, Kangaroo Island, and Limestone Coast.

Minister for Human Services, Nat Cook, said: "These Code Blue responses help people experiencing homelessness who are most affected by extreme winter weather to remain warm and safe. I encourage rough sleepers, or anyone who knows a rough sleeper, to call Homeless Connect SA -- these services are here to help."


Latest Snowfall In Decades At Snoqualmie

Snoqualmie Summit Ski Resort received a shock snow dump on Wednesday.

Not only was the summit turned a fresh white, but snow even reached all the way down to the base of the resort, something that hasn't happened in decades, according to the resort's X account:

“We often see dustings of snow on the peaks around here in May, but rarely this late in the month and it almost never hits base elevation. We can't remember the last time it snowed this late, it's probably been a couple decades or more.” — Summit at Snoqualmie on X
